I will then describe as a special but very important example: how resurgence will be used to define and calculate path integrals, based on a fundamental intuition of Ed Witten.   Zoom link:  https://osu.zoom.us/j/94760128807?pwd=c3RBbUVxeldlSzZGVzRGSlVwME96dz09 Passcode (if required): 032510   Zoom webinar America/New_York public
